1963 Season Report

Jim Clark won the 1963 Formula 1 World Drivers' Championship driving for Lotus-Climax, finishing on 54 points, 25 clear of Graham Hill. Clark won 7 races that season.

Lotus-Climax took the Constructors' Championship with 54 points, 18 ahead of BRM.

3 different drivers won a Grand Prix, and 17 drivers scored championship points.

Championships in this era were decided on a "best results" basis — drivers counted only their highest-scoring finishes towards the title, so season totals can differ from the sum of every race result. Dropped scores were abolished from 1991.
